The headquarters of the Communauté de communes du Pont du Gard, located in the town of Remoulins, was officially opened after several months of construction. Rather than moving to a new location, the project involved expanding the existing site by adding an additional floor. The new building covers 640 square meters and includes 27 parking spaces, 17 trees to be planted in November, a bicycle shelter, and three electric vehicle charging stations. The construction site is next to the original headquarters, which is being replaced because the old building is no longer suitable for use. The new two-level structure extends an existing modular building and is designed to provide direct access from the Avenue du Pont du Gard, giving the organization a fresh identity. The design incorporates stone walls, mineral cladding, and greenery to blend with the surrounding landscape of wooded cliffs. While the new building includes various workspaces for staff, including an office for the president, community councils will continue to operate from different locations to ensure each commune has access to information. The new headquarters is part of a broader effort to improve local services and infrastructure. Philippe Marchesi, president of the Communauté de communes du Pont du Gard, described the inauguration as a new chapter for the organization, emphasizing that the building represents more than just a physical structure—it is a political act. He stressed the importance of intercommunal solidarity and the need to bring essential services closer to residents while also improving working conditions for staff. Marchesi also welcomed the appointment of Aurélie Brunet, the new director of services, comparing her role to that of a conductor who coordinates different professionals to create harmony and purpose. Marchesi acknowledged the challenges of making important decisions under financial constraints. He highlighted several ongoing projects, including the transformation of multimodal exchange hubs, the reopening of train stations in Aramon and Remoulins, and the development of routes that encourage walking and cycling. He concluded that the new building serves as a tool for the organization's teams, a meeting place for local residents, and a space for dialogue with partners. He expressed gratitude to all those who contributed to the project’s completion. The building's design and location reflect a commitment to sustainability and community engagement. By integrating natural elements like trees and greenery, the structure aims to complement the local environment rather than disrupt it. The new headquarters is intended to be a functional and welcoming space that supports both the organization's mission and the needs of the people it serves.
